Weather and Pitch Conditions
CPL 2020, throughout the season, has produced low-scoring games. The wickets have been extremely slow with the slower bowlers extracting the maximum out of the wicket. It is likely to happen the same in the final of CPL 2020. Chasing anything above 150 runs can be a difficult task batting in the second half.
The weather has been pleasant throughout the tournament and it is likely to remain the same. The temperatures will also not be soaring high making it comfortable for their players to give their 100 percent.

Trinbago Knight Riders will enter the CPL 2020 final as the outright favourites. No other team has managed to match up to their performance throughout the tournament. It will require a humongous effort from St Lucia Zouks to do the impossible.
History is also in the favour of the Kieron Pollard-led side. So far in CPL, both teams have locked horn 16 times with Trinbago Knight Riders winning 14 of them. And they are likely to take their tally to 15 at the end of the CPL 2020 final.
